Antares 12", 10" and 8" Dobsonian Telescopes

These Dobs come with features that put them above the competition!
Both the 10" f4.8 and 12" f5 come with premium Crayford focusers and
the 10:1 Microadjust focusers are optional. All sizes come with 8x50
right-angle correct-image finder scopes, 9mm and 32mm 1.25" Plossl
eyepieces and an eyepiece tray. 12" and 10" models have cooling fans
with battery packs.

The 8" f6 is available with either a rack and pinion focuser or the
Crayford focuser, or 10:1 Crayford.

The Crayford focusers provide smooth operation with no backlash
and no image shift, and are fully adjustable for use with any weight
eyepiece. Unlike common rack and pinion focusers there is no grease!
Both the 2" focuser and supplied 1.25" adapter have compression bands.

The 8x50 right-angle correct-image finder scopes present a bright view
that is oriented the same as the real sky view, and the eyepiece is
oriented so you can use the finder without wrenching your neck! The
sturdy detachable finder base has two-screw adjustment.

The primary mirrors have cooling fans to reduce cooldown time and get
you viewing faster. With battery pack for 8 AA cells and extension cable.

With front cover. Some assembly required. Shipped via UPS Ground.
